Springfield, Ohio

The Adopt-A-Block program is the cooperative effort of approximately 24 area inter-denominational churches and organizations to reach out to the economically struggling neighborhoods in the Springfield area and bring hope in a tangible way. The focus of the program is to not only meet the physical needs of these neighborhoods plagued with high crime, drug activity, and poverty, but also to provide the people of Springfield a renewed hope for the future. Rocking Horse Center (RHC) offers comprehensive health care services for children and young families. Its aim is to provide quality resources in order that every child can be healthy regardless of family income. The Clark County Literacy Coalition (CCLC) consists of twelve organizations, each supporting literacy issues and working toward improving literacy in the Springfield area. Services include: one-on-one tutoring, after school tutoring, GED preparation, and lower-level literacy services as well as English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes and life skills opportunities.
